Karley and Sienna

I thought I would put these pictures up. Karley and her cousin Sienna got there one year old pictures taken together. They had so much fun eating the cake and making a big mess.

What We Have Been Doing

Colby finally finished that big project at work and is back to a normal schedule. We are so excited to have our dad back. While he has been hard at work Paul (Wendy's brother) has been hard at work on our house. He remodled our upstairs bathroom about a month ago. Now he is doing the downstairs. We haven't had our computer hooked up for about a week now so I haven't been able to keep this blog updated. Colby finished the work project on Sunday and dislocated his pinky fingure on Tuesday. No rest for the wicked. JKPaul's tile job. Thanks Paul

One hot Sautrday, while Paul was working on the house the boys and Karly decided to play in the sprinklers. Believe it or not there are four little boys sitting in this tarp. They tried to make a water fort. When it wouldn't stay they gave up and wrapped themselves in it. Mat, neighbor kid Christian, Karley, Andrew, and Caden running away.

Mat not sure about the water.

Karley loved playing outside and eating frozen yogurt but she was not big on the idea of getting sprayed with the hose or the water ball.

Mat, christian, Andrew, Caden and Jacob all playing with the water ball

Trent and Travis are gone

I know for those of you who view the extended weaver Family blog this photo is already posted but I wanted to share it with everyone and let people know how honored we are that Colby's brothers Trent and Travis have choosen to serve our country. This photo was taken the day that Travis was sworn into the millitary.

Happy Mother's Day

This Mother's Day was spent at the Fox's (Wendy's parents) Several sibblings , a Cousin, her family, and the missionaries were all there for the fun! Jacob, Caden and Andrew playing ball while Arie and Karley play other things

This isn't from Mother's Day but I thought I would through it in there anyway. Last week Paul came over to do some remolding of my house. While he worked the kids played.

I thought this was a cute picture of our cubscouts having bike safty night in the church parking lot.

It been so long

Sorry that it has been so long sinse I have updated the blog. We are in the middle of madness. We miss our dad who has had to work 13 hour days for 8-9 straight days before having 1 day off before he goes back to do it all again. He leaves just after 4am and get home somewhere between 6:30 -7pm. His site is doing what they call a "turn around." That means they change out all the equipment. It only happens every 7 years and Colby happended to start working there just before the turn around. This crazyness will only last another two, maybe three weeks, and we are all glad it's coming to an end. Being the only parent around has been crazy, leaving no time for things like updating this blog. But I did however want to post Caden and Jacob's pinewood durby race pictures from a week ago and give an update on our family. Caden had to share something this week that started with the letter L so he came up with the idea of sharing his 'little sister." He told the class about his sister and then there was about a 20min question answer time about his sister. He showed the kids how he plays peek-a-boo with her and how he makes her dance around. I am so surprised that the navelty of a little sister has not worn off yet. Caden LOVES his sister.

Sinse dad has been soooo busy at work, I had to help make the pinewood durby cars. Yes, I had three brothers but never paid attention to how the cars get made. We were very impressed that Jacob came in 4th and Caden came in 5th place in our stake with our first experience since there cars losts wheels in the car on the ride overto the church.(That's another story.) It was nice that dad got home just in time to go to the race. The funniest part was how for dad it was a flashback to his pinewood dury days. Same building, same judge (at least the one on the left) same cubmaster at the starting line telling the boys how to put their cars on the line. See not everything changes.

Karley's First B-day Party

I know this is a little late but better late then never. On March 22nd we celebrated Karley's 1st Birthday. Because we had been out of town for her Birthday and then daddy had to work the next weekend we had her party the day before Easter. It made for a great family get together with the cousins. It was so much fun to have an Easter/birthday party. Karley loved getting to eat the cake. She wasn't as messy as her brothers were with their first cakes but she sure got into it.

Before we had cake we had an Easter Egg Hunt. Karley collected those eggs and put them into her basket. She really loved this

Andrew (my brother Paul's son) counting his loot

Tatumn (Colby's brother's daughter) collecting eggs

Karley and Siena (my sister's daughter -only 30 days older) having a great time playing with the eggs

Before the egg hunt the kids decorated cookies Caden and Tyler (colby's brother's son) decided to decorate themselves.

Matt Paul's 2nd son eating more then decorating. Not only were there cookies to decorate but they also did some egg decorating CADEN & JACOB

Eveyone got in on the egg mess. if you look close at the kids you can see they all took off there shirts -so they wouldn't get dirty (talk about a close family -we all run around naked)

Before all the decorating we went outside and had an airplane throughing contest

This is as many of the kids as I could get to take a picture all together. Matt (on the wall behind) Jacob-Karley on his shoulders, Caden and Siena, Andrew-with the plane in the air and Tyler -looking at his plane. Not pictured Tatumn, Luke,Ava and Adelyn

It was a fun party and a beautiful day. Thank you to everyone who came and helped out with all the activities. This is what family is all about.

Lost My Camera

Sorry I haven't update anything lately. We have done so much that I was hoping to get posted but I can't find my camera. We recarpeted our upstairs this week and in all the moving I can't seem to figure out what I did with my camera. It makes me sad. I didn't get many pictures of the moving and how crowded our downstairs was with everything packed into it. I am also sad that I didn't get pictures of one of my brother-n-laws face after he had my boys bunk beds fall on it. The cut on the eye made the black eye he already had from a church basketball game look even worse. ( Don't worry he's okay.) I also didn't get any pictures of the window that we had to replace after our matress went through it. (long story) Yes, moving all our stuff was quite a job this week. You can imagine why I didn't want anyone getting on a ladder in my garage to put some stuff up in the attic. After everything else that had already happened, I could just see someone falling off the ladder and breaking there back. On another note I just have to brag about Colby for a minute. On Tuesday he had to take a qualifying test for ConocoPhillips. Not only did he pass this oral exam, but the guy who gave Colby the test asked him who had taught him or what he had studied because he had never tested anyone who knew so much after only a few month of working there. Way To Go Colby!
